and mitt romney can certainly afford to pay a little more. [cheers and applause] and, and the reason i want to do it is because, when you give tax breaks to middle-class there was, what do they do? what you do when you have a little more money in your pocket? you spend it. so maybe trade in the old 10 year old car. maybe you buy a computer for your kid. and that means business has more customers, which means companies have more profits, which means that they hire more people. and then the whole economy gets stronger. we don't build the economy from the top down. we built from the bottom up, from the middle out. that's what we are fighting for.
